A Day Without OTL.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles here!

Well, what can I say? Old Two Legs was up all early today and in the shower long before his normal time. We know he has things planned for today that will not include any of us left at home!

He is off to his photographic AGM meeting and then a load of other stuff to do with photography.

The Missus had been instructed to make sure we got our walks along The Sea Wall and we were supposed to be allowed to chase a rabbit or two, if we found any!

The ferrets were not so lucky, they had to make do with a rampage around the house while OTL cleared out the poo trays and changed all the water bottles and water bowl.

Mr Brambles made the most of that time and was downstairs in a flash, looking for food! He was out of luck 'cos out chicken hadn't been cooked yet and all he could find was the 'Nodules' we get left in our 'Over Night Bowl', just in case of emergencies!

He didn't even bother to get one out and instead went off looking for somewhere to have a poo! Unfortunately, OTL came down stairs and spotted his 'Poo Dance', recognised it for what it was, picked him up and rushed him back to the clean Poo Pot.

Mr Brambles duly obliged and did the first poo in the clean pot, then he ran down stairs again to look for food!

Miss Snowflake bounded down stairs and proceeded to chase him around the lounge and kitchen then back up stairs again and under the bed. That was OK 'cos Holly and I were on top trying to catch up with out night time snoozes!

When we left for our walk, OTL cam out at the same time and just for a moment we forgot he was leaving us, so, Holly and I stopped, turned around and ran back to say Bye Bye!

Down on the grass path we came across a big Bozo Woofer and being me, I made a detour down onto the lower path while Holly had the job of giving him the 'Grumblies' when the Bozo got too close to TM!

The trouble is, TM can't read the woofers like OTL can and wasn't too sure how to deal with strange woofers.

Holly sorted him out and I'm sure she got an extra lump of chicken for being so brave!

Still no sign of the Snow Fairy but Holly and I had a roll in a frozen sniff we found, that was until TM rushed up and called us 'Smelly Nellie's!'

We are expecting OTL home soon, so, off we go to wait by the front door for him to try to sneak in, fat chance!

Here, what's this about Holly getting an extra lump of chicken????? That's favouritism. Good job OTL caught Mr Brambles and not TM, he could have been in bother. I'm glad OTL gave TM instructions for you walk, did he say you could have a little roll in a little sniff as well as chase a rabbit? Holly is brave but I think you're sensible, give bozos a wide berth. I suppose you've been sat by the window most of the day, waiting for OTL to come home. I bet he gets licked on his little bald head when he does finally get home. I expect he'll let you mug him for some of his dinner as well by way of showing you how much he missed being with you today. Enjoy your snoozes after you've given OTL the 3rd sniff. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures tomorrow. Love, licks and wags from little (spotty) Arch xxxxx

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
